Village Comprehensive Plan

On September 24, 2024, the Village of Rhinebeck Board of Trustees adopted our new Village Comprehensive Plan. This 3-year effort completely overhauled the previous plan from 1993, and created a roadmap for land use planning for the next 10-20 years.

Now that the Comprehensive Plan has been adopted, the Village Board, in partnership with the Village Planner, Four Corners Planning, will develop a plan to implement it’s recommendations. Please stay tuned! If you have any questions, please reach out to the Village Clerk, Martina McClinton, or Trustee Lydia Slaby.

Links to the documents for the Village Board’s public hearing:  August 13, 2024; September 2, 2024 (none); and September 12, 2024. Link to the Village Board’s meeting where the Comprehensive Plan was adopted: September 24, 2024.

The Village would like to publicly thank the participation of over 1,000 people who participated in the production of our new Comprehensive Plan, especially the thirteen members of our community who worked tirelessly as members of the Comprehensive Plan Committee.

The Village resolution from October 26, 2021 creating and guiding the work of the CPC can be found here. The Village resolution adopting the Comprehensive Plan from September 24, 2024 can be found here.

This project is funded, in part, by a Hudson River Valley Greenway grant.
